backfiring golfcart
2004 ezgo golf cart gas powered runs fine but after riding a little while it has a little bit of a backfire every once and a while. I put new spark plugs and new fuel pump in recently. Any suggestions? maybe getting to much gas? Im not real worried about it because it runs ok.

I would check the valve adjustments. 0.004 cold. You might be overdue for a valve adjustment. Continued backfire can be a source of burned valves.

Re: backfiring golfcart
Is the .004 for cold or warm climates?

Re: backfiring golfcart
Mine is an '05. It backfires when I run it wide open and come to a quick stop. I just assumed it was "loaded up" with fuel.
It I run it half to 3/4 throttle and stop, there is no backfiring. It runs great, no complaints, just an observation to add that may help. |

There a few times that I've come off full throttle to a quick stop and it's actually started sputtering and will go in reverse. very odd... Mostly though, it will backfire, maybe five seconds after coming to a stop. |
